Also, today, I thought it would be fun (and maybe daring) to cut my focal image small (pear3 cut at 1-1/2"). This A2 sized card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") required a smaller image. Lately I've been making larger cards but I thought I should go back to the standard sizing.

My scalloped and regular circles were actually punched out. Paper is by October Afternoon, Coredinations and JillyBean Soup. Ribbon by Stampin Up! and sentiment by Papertrey Ink. In fact, that "thank you" was stamped on the edge of an EK Success punch that I turned 90 degrees and cut down.

The little leaf sprig is from the Martha Stewart branch punch.

Here you can the see the inside and below you can see how the Cuttlebug folder embossing actually shows up on the inside of the card, for a different twist on things. I love these Preserves Cuttlebug Companion folders!

Below you can see the card - I pop dotted the focal image to give it more presence on the card. I also used the Swiss Dots folder to cuttlebug the background that the pear sits on. Most everything is better Cuttlebugged!

Tune in tomorrow for another oldie, but goodie, Cricut cartridge project! This post may contain affiliate links.

Don't forget we are giving away a Preserves Cricut cartridge this week so be sure to leave a comment and subscribe so you are entered to win!

Fabulous design! Your color combination was wonderful ~ love the layering and the bow! Simply wonderful! Will have to go check out those embossing folders. They add so much to your card! SusanJ in Atlanta

I haven't seen the preserves cartridge yet...I've been doing a lot of preserves tho and this card alone makes me want to get it! That pear would be perfect on a gift tag for the pear sauce I just made yesterday! Thanks for sharing!

I love the looks of this card!!! I love all the detail and the colors work so well together. Great job!!! Thanks so much for always sharing your ideas.hugs,jenjennyscards.blogspot.comjenniferhogge07@yahoo.com

I really like this card..but what I really like is the layout. I keep forgetting I can break away from the typical lay outs and experiment with circles, squares AND scallops! (I'm a novice card maker so these ideas really help me break out of the box!)

OMGoodness Joy. When I opened up my email this morning and saw this, WOW.I love everything about it. I have been making larger cards lately, but the smaller ones with smaller images do step the papers up a notch.

WOW! Joy you outdid yourself again! What a GORGEOUS card. I love the embossing and the effect it gives the card on both the inside and outside. I also love the overall sketch of this card! Thanks for sharing!
